When I tested these Churro Sourdough Donuts for the first time…I was MIND BLOWN. The idea came from one of our favorite snacks, the Churro Strips by Siete. I knew that I had to incorporate them into a sweet treat somehow…and this is what I came up with!
These donuts are baked and have a soft, cake-like texture…that pairs so perfectly with the sweet crunch of the crushed churro strips crust.
I use sourdough discard for this recipe, but that’s not required! If you don’t have discard, use this instead:
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup milk (or water)
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
Hope you love these donuts as much as we did! (I know you will!)
